Then we wouldn't have to create our own tests to determine whether or not there's any html in a data field.I didn't know you were suggesting an entirely new feature, my idea was a suggestion for dealing with the html entry problem using WebCat2's existing capabilities. Since I've never seen anyone use angle brackets in regular text, I thought that might be the most useful character to search for, since angle brackets *must* be included in html ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome ..... ken@iav.com Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
